osteoarthritis hip age

I went to Shriners hospital when I was 13ish, and one of the doctors there told me that I could need hip replacements by the age of 35. I didnt want to believe him, but now I starting to realize why he said that. I also have noticed reoccurring pains in alot of my joints along with stiffness and muscle spasms. I also have weird bone growths, on my ankle, heel, toe joints, finger joints, Im too young for all this. My sed rate always comes back normal.

First of all, joint replacement is not as uncommon for folks our age as it used to be. I had my first hip replaced at age 37, the second at 40. It so improved my quality of life that I'd do it again in a heartbeat! With good care (keeping your weight down, no high-impact exercise) an implant could very well last your lifetime. Six months after my second one I was hiking in the Grand Canyon.

In a nutshell, osteoarthritis is wear-and-tear on the joint. It can happen at any age, not just to "old people". It can be brought on by an injury, a congenital deformity, overuse in a sport or job. RA is a malfunction of the immune system in which it mistakes joint tissue, mainly the cartilage, as something that must be attacked and eliminated. This causes the typical swelling, redness, heat, and over time, damage that causes pain and disability.

I chose resurfacing as opposed to total implant due to my stats, mainly my young age---in osteoarthritis years (g)..I'm 51 (male, solid bones, no metal allergies, etc). This procedure preserves more of the bone, something to consider in the event I outlive the life of the implants and require further replacement down the road..Thought I would pass along an excellent patient site on hip implants I stumbled on.

You probably have the onset of osteoarthritis which usually is first noticed in the hip, especially when lying on it in bed.

Since high school, after running track for 4 yrs, (7 yrs ago) I hav had knee pain. In the last couple of years it has gotten worse, radiating to my hip. It happens when I've been standing or walking too long, or if I'm cold. Could this be a trauma induced osteoarthritis?

I think when they see someone my age come in with hip pain they automatically think that they can just give an injection and it will all be better. lol My AVN was mild 2 years ago on MRI, but I know that it can progress quickly. I will demand something happen when I go in on Wednesday because this is just ridiculous. Thanks for your input and keep me posted on your surgery.

I had occasional hip (groin) pain at about your age, along with severe leg pain, and after the briefest of consultations with a privated physhiotherapist, who recommended no further assessment, saying my range of movement was good, just let it be. I was extremely fit, a distance runner, fitness instructor, climber, martial arts performer, the works. I am now just into my forties, and over the last few years the deterioration has been dramatic. I now walk with a cane.

Based on how I am understanding my test results most of my pain is from hip impingement, not necessarily osteoarthritis. I am uncomfortable sitting for long periods, and recently (last month or so) riding my bike has become occasionally painful both during and after the ride. I have been prescribed meloxicam 15mg daily. I have been taking it for about a week without much relief.

Hi Sumit. :) I, too, want to let you know that we are glad you found our Forum. I'm so very sorry that you have these problems at such a young age. Tuck's correct, there's nothing you can do to increase space in your hip joint or any joint that I know of. I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis when I was very young and needed a hip replacement when I was 28 years old. This was in 1974 and the hip joints were relatively new and wouldn't have lasted long.

My last MRI show worsening of osteoarthritis of the right hip joint with high grade chondral loss and bone on bone contact.There is an extensive degenerative tear of the right acetabular labrum, which has progressed compared to 1 year ago is is now associated with a new smal paralabral cyst. There is also a new small right hip joint effusion. On top of that i have a severe degenerative disc disease at l3 and l4.....

My wife (age 36) has pain in her hip area and lower back that also shoots down her leg and groin. She has the harrington rod in her back as well. This seems to get really bad when its cold and rainy any idea what this could be?

If you do not get enough calcium, or if your body does not absorb enough calcium from the diet, bone production and bone tissues may suffer. As you age, calcium and phosphate may be reabsorbed back into the body from the bones, which makes the bone tissue weaker. And this happens with the bones of your entire body. So in starting you may feel that only one side of your body is affected, but gradually bones, mostly joints of your entire body would suffer from pain and weakness.

Dull pain along with sharp pain depending on how I move. Pain in inner groin/hip area. Hip occasionally locks up on me when I stand up from a sitting position. I just finally recieved the results from the MRI with Contrast a year after the initial injury. I was also diagnosed two years ago with Hashimotos and I do have issues with arthritis although still trying to get a handle on it as I speak. Here is the report: Indication: R hip pain, question labral tear.

In your case, as it is already diagnosed as osteoarthritis, there is a possibility of increased inflammation in the hip joint, that could happen due to stress, infection etc. Osteoarthritis of hip is a common degenerative hip joint disorder that tends to affect older people. The main symptom is pain in the buttocks, thigh and calf. Treatment involves rest and antinflammatory drugs until pain subsides. Also antibiotics and hormone terapy can be implicated depending upon the severity.

First, let me tell you I'm happy you found us here on the Arthritis Comminity! I'm so sorry to hear that you are experiencing these problems with your knees. I understand what you're going thru suffering with this pain at such a young age! My Doctor's believe that my osteo-arthritis began when I was a teenager. By the age of 28, my Doctor's were prescribing a THR(Total Hip Replacement).

I have severe osteoarthritis in my left hip and am looking at a hip replacement down the road. I have prescription IB profen and hydrocodone but very rarely have to take anything for pain. I firmly attribute this to take Triple Flex which is glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM. You have to take it for 6 to 8 weeks before it really starts taking effect. A lot of people expect it to work immediately and do not give it the amount of time it needs to work.

t much older, 28, when I was told in 1974 that I needed a hip implant because of Osteoarthritis. At that time the hip implants were quite knew and my Doctor had me put it off until I couldn't stand the pain anymore because in 1974 the implants were only good for about 5 to 10 years in someone as young and active as I was. I managed to go until I couldn't stand the pain anymore which was another 7 years when I was 35 yrs old.

I have been suffering from chronic hip pain for about 8 months. I had THR surgery of my right hip on 1-15-08. I seemed to be recovering at a normal pace until December of 2008. I started experiencing pain in the soft tissue of my right hip. I returned to my orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis. Xrays confirmed the hip was good, to be sure a bone scan was ordered, it also showed that everything appeared normal.

I did take tylenol once a day which helped for awhile. Now they do not help. Because of my advanced age I am reluctant to take anything strong (anti-inflamatory NSAIDS). My main question is the fever.

I take it 3 or 4 times daily. I have severe osteoarthritis and need a total right hip replacement. I had a total left hip replacement 3 months ago.

Hi there, I would strongly recommend he go to another doctor for a second opinion. Lumps under the skin are never normal. Look for an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hips. FWIW, I was 37 when I had my first hip replacement. Even at my worst I did not have large lumps under the skin at the hip joints. You don't say your husband's age, but I know arthritis patients who have had joint replacements in their teens.
